FOOD IN SIBERIA
Hsw Meats and Fruits Are Preserved In

Russia's Asiatic Empire.
To appreciate the severity of the eli
mate of Northern Siberia, i5 is only
necessary to understand the practical
purposes it is made to serve. The en-
tire country is used as a vast refrigera-
tor in preserving articles of food.
One day traveller, dining at Tomsk
on plump fowl, asked how long the
bird had been killed. The landlord
evidently softened his reply as much
as possible, knowing the repugnance
of most foreigners to any food not
quite fresh.

No precautions are required for the
preservation of beef, for it takes care
of itself. Nearly all butchers kill, at
the beginning of the cold weather, q
sufficient number of animals to furnish
provisions for the entire winter, and
allow the meat to freeze. There is no
fear of any food changing in such
temperature. The fish become so solid
and stiff that they are set up on their
tails against the walls of the markets.
be the tail ever so long and the fish
ever so heavy.
Often fruits preserved in ice are
placed upon the table of the Siberian
evening meal, the rethod of keeping
them being similar to that employed
with meats. As soon as the severe
cold sets in, they are exposed to the
air, if possible toward the north.

they thus become completely frozen.
When eaten, they are found TO have

KoTELNors MAMMOTH.
Odd superstitiOns OF the Natives of tho Ne"
Siberian Islands.


Siberian Islands.
Lieutenant SchuetZe, of the United
States Navy, the Arctic explorer, was
conversing pleasantly with a party OF
friends about snow, ice and mammoths
when reporter ran across him in the
St James.
"a Russian expedition, he was say
ing, "has just got back from the new
Siberian Islands. DIR. Bunga and
Baron Toll had charge of it. win
tered with them in 1885 at the
mouth of the Yana river, Northern ST.
IBERIA, and they crossed over in the
spring of 1886 to the islands, One OF
the principal results of their expedi-
ton has been the discovery of a MAN.
moth on Kotelnoi, the most westerly
point of the new Siberian Islands. The
scientists of Europe say the mammoth
is probably ten thousand years old and
it had been kept in preservation in the
natural refrigerator that exists up
there. The shores of these islands
break away continually, and that was
how they discovered this animal They
got its flesh and its skin and the whole
body complete.
"The superstitious natives know OF
the existence of these mammoths, but
won't tell you any thing about them.
Even if they knew that you are there
for the purpose of getting one they
will let you remain through a whole
winter without giving you any infor-
nation on the subject. If you ask
they will reply that they never
saw one, and ask you what you want
one for. told a native once that |
wanted one for the sake of the meat,
and although he had claimed that he
did not know any thing about them he
said: What do you want to cat the
meat for? 1t stinks!'-thus trapping
himself very neatly. You may guess
what the size of q mammoth is when l
tell you that the one the Russian eXpe-
dition got stands as high as this room.
The natives on the coast gather mann
moth tusbs. | have seen hundreds
sent down to Yacutsk for sale. They
are made of the purest ivory and are
very huge. They measure perhaps,
a foot and half in diameter at
tho root and curl down. They are not
like elephant tusks, which curl back.
If you get good specimen of the mann
moth tusk you can stand upright in the
curve of it. The natives in the place
where Dr.. Bunga and L live, though
they said nothing about mammoths tC
US, were actually feeding their sled
dogs on the flesh and using the skin fol
.sicd-dog harness.
"But the natives are queer lot il
many ways. While Dr. Bunga anC
his party were on circumpolar expe
dition they took meteorological observa
tons. The natives in little neigh

Of its cost and the slowness with which
II comes TO maturity. 1t requires =
special culture, must be sOwn alone
aud upon rich soil in the cleanest COR
dition, for il is quite unable to resist
weeds, and when in its first weak, slow

cents per pound. 1t can not be grazed
as clover may be nor is it more prolific
than clover.
These are its disadvantages, and it is
easily perceived that as competitor
with clover it can not be proiitably
substituted for it in ordinary farm cult
ure where clover does its best. And
when clover is plowed under after it
has served its purpose so well for tive
or three years il furnishes to the soil
much larger quantity Of valuable plant
food than is contributed by alfalfa.
Alfalfa fourishes most luXuriantly
upon the rich river bottoms of the
California valleys. known as tule
lands, and upon the rich dry lands Of
Colorado and other localities of the far
West, where the climate is dry and IT,
rigatiOn is practiced. There it is at
its best, but the conditions under which
it luxuriates being 50 different from
those prevailing elsewhere show plainly
that it is not suitable plan for ordi-

Nevertheless, there are some localities
in the eastern part of the continent
where it may be found very useful. In
! Florida and most of the Southern
States, for instance, it will find a con-
genial home and may be used most adj
vantageOusly for summer feeding as
green fodder; but its eXacting charac-
ter in regard to culture shsEld not be
lost sight of, for it will refuse to grow
under the same conditions in which
clover would yield fair crop and
would utterly fail under the common
system of culture which prevails in the
South.
The manner of preparing the soil for
alfalfa is much the same as that for any
other spring crop. The land should
be deeply plowed, and if not rich
enough to bring seventy-fve bushels of
corn or three tons of timothy and
clover per acre it must be made so by
liberal manuring. The land must also
be cleared of weeds by previous sum

is Indispensable The soil Is brought
to fine filth by repeated narrowing,
and the seed is then drilled in rows
twelve to sixteen inches apart some
time in May. The ground is repeatedly
cultivated during the summer, and if

be moved in the fall, but it is best to
leave it uncut as a protection to the
young roots the first winter. Pastur-

AN IMPORTANT pEoIsIoN TO srooA,
 MEN.

THE case of John Kennedy vs. J. W. Horrell has been recently disposed of by Judge Porter who rendered judg- ment on demurrer in favor of Horrell.
 This case was of some interest to stockmen as it involved the right of one cattleman to drive his stock upon the range of another without the lat ter's consent. Mr. Horrell, in June last, drove band of cattle upon the range of Mir. Kennedy against his wishes, and he brought suit to obtain an injunction to restrain Horrell from placing upon the range claimed by Kennedy any greater number of cat tie, passing his suit on the ground that, although he did not own the land, (the title being in the Government, still, that he claimed certain area of the same for number of years as a cattle range, and that the grass and water supply thereon was only sufficient for his own purpose, and if Mir. Horrell was permitted to drive cattle upon the range it wonld be detrimental to his interests.
 The Court at the hearing said that the suit could not be maintained as the Government owned the land, and that Kennedy was himselfa trpespasser and that Horrell had as much right as Ken nedy to go upon the land with his herds.
 The last Legislature attempted to adjust matters by declaring that whenever any person turns cattle loose upon any range already occupied by auother, such persons shall furnish water on the surface, free and unfenced, in addition to that already there, suf- ficient for such additional cattle. They onght to have gone step further and added "grass" with their waiter supply But we doubt if now, under this recent ruling of Judge Porter, this section can have any force, as his decision holds that all have the right to go upon the public domain and take and enjoy the possession thereof, and no one can com plain unless he has better title than that of mere claims to cattle range.

 Some twenty years has passed since the organization of the Grand Army of the Republic, and this is the first time that the countersign has been used wrongfully. Such an exposure has caused trou ble and great caution to keep out imposters and eyes troopers. Comman- ders of posts are obliged to excuse all visiting comrades without vouchers. Many posts have adopted a special countersign of their owr. The result is that many worthy but rusty comrades have been refused admission into post meetings, which is to be much regret ted.

THERE seems to be considerable talk and many conjectures as to the future of our mountain town. If the A. & P. R. R. company would make some prop sition and permanent decision as to the amount that it would sell lots for, ac. cording to some regular graded scale, and make the price low enough to be within the reach of every man who wants to invest, it would satisfy the public, and our citizens could go at work improving on solid and perma- nent basis. There is an impression among some of cur citizens, that the R. R. company intends to charge an enor. nous price for lots.
